Ingredients

• 4 large Green bell peppers
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 tablespoons Red wine vinegar
• 3 small Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the green bell peppers thoroughly and pat them dry.

Step 2

Preheat a grill pan or regular skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Place the whole green bell peppers onto the hot pan, turning them occasionally with tongs, until the skin is blistered and charred on all sides (about 8–10 minutes). Alternatively, you can roast them directly over an open flame for the same result.

Step 4

Once charred, transfer the peppers to a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Let them steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.

Step 5

While the peppers are steaming, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 6

After steaming, peel the charred skin from the bell peppers using your fingers or a paper towel. Remove the seeds and stems. Slice the peppers into thin strips.

Step 7

In a medium bowl, mix the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes until well combined.

Step 8

Add the sliced green peppers to the marinade and toss until evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let the peppers marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to deepen.

Step 9

Before serving, sprinkle the marinated peppers with chopped fresh parsley. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
